Because I know the spirit I have,
nothing shall prevail against it!

The strong in faith, fear not the body
nor what it lusts after

Neither does a person of faith fear
what enemies may do

Trust in the power that energizes
the spirit for eternity

Know the "now" is too temporary
to be  worried about

Concern yourself with assuring your
future in forever realms

Things hidden in the darkness take
shape once again in the light

Creator's love is ever with us
whether in darkness or in light,
even when hidden

You need only believe,and learn
to trust in your spirit, as guard
and guide
 

Creator takes care of the rest!

Psalm 139:14
"I will praise You for I  am
fearfully and wonderfully made
Marvelous are your works
And that my soul knows very well."

Differing Views

When poets  write of politics and war
Sometimes sanity goes out the door
Lost is all sense of reasoning
Some can't find a metaphor

When anger resides within
In frustration we fuss
Demeaning others can't win
It reflects back on us

We need to examine ourselves
Make sure it's right we choose
We can't put people on shelves
Because they differ with our views

Everyone can't like each other
That's an unrealistic ideal
But we can respect their rights
Be tolerant of how they feel

To constantly put people down
Is a sign of selfish immaturity
Faces can do more than  frown
Improve our own personality

We have it within our power
To change our environment
Silence can be like a flower
If we  learn to be content

We can voice our opinions clearly
Hopefully with reason and good taste
Keeping sight of  things we hold dearly
Without treating others like waste

“Religion is a guy in church thinking about fishing. Spirituality is a guy out fishing thinking about God.”
 

Inspired by twilight
Clandestine thoughts
Seek to roam free
To howl at the moon
To soar the thermals
To dance on stars
Run rampant oh spirit
Deny the gravity of earth
Climb the heavens
Chase the clouds
Find passions portal
Enjoy Eros embrace
Partake in pools of pleasure
Allow the  ambiance of love
To intoxicate the night
With the delight of dawn
Dine on solar sunbeams

St. Augustine Quotes

"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars;

and they pass by themselves without wondering."

"God provides the wind, but

we must raise the sail"
